elections have consequences for both sides of the aisle. the president is very aware that he has a responsibility to now go to bat on immigration reform and it seems to be that in the house it's a small step. small private steps are being taken not by the people who put out press releases that don't really say much, but have lovely words to them. they're actually working on it. let's see. piecemeal, i think, will never work. >> margaret. >> i -- i think senator rubio's heart is pure on this, and i think he sees a great big huge bill trying to move it is harder than getting pieces that you can get coalitions on and get something through. you know, on the vote on that 44 point difference, you know, if republicans started speaking to latinos with some respect and not with words like self-deportation and let's fix -- let's close the fence as mccain did. they would be able to hear other parts of the republican message. you can't be sure that all of them are going to -- that they're not all going to be democrats one they're here in & here legal.

if you look back at the 2004 election, there was lots of debate about whether or not bush's re-election could be pinned on the fact that in many of these states, there were referendum on the ballot about things such as same sex marriage, that the social issues were being dredged up as sort of positive for the republicans. fast forward to this election and as we discussed on the show before, you have gay marriage, you have marijuana, you have these issues on which republicans, you know, not necessarily where the voters were this time around in many of these states that literally in just the last ten years alone, public opinion has shifted a lot. though it's important to remember that i don't think of this as as much of a partisan issue as it is generational. remember, it was just a few months ago that president obama was evolving on his position and you had dick cheney who was kind of to the left of him on gay marriage. so i don't view this as much as a partisan issue. i view this as generational and something that both parties, particularly the republican party, though, will be addressi
